What Is Winning To Nil And Its Strategies?

3y ago

Romping through every single competition they participated in, Bayern Munich announced themselves as the best side in Europe last season. With their players ticking well on the pitch, the Bavarians successfully clinched the continental treble to emulate their 2012/13 exploits.

Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid’s previous campaign wasn’t what they would have hoped for, but pretty satisfactory in the end. Despite being inconsistent all through, they pushed really hard to finish third on the log, booking a ticket to this season’s edition of the Champions League.

Bayern Munich vs Atletico Madrid Team News

No doubt about it, Bayern Munich are currently the most formidable team in world football. In blistering form last time out, they steamrolled through the Champions League to lift the prestigious trophy. So ruthless on the ball, they were deservedly European champions.

Their brilliant CL success was capped by an emphatic 8-2 victory Barcelona in the quarterfinals. They were unbelievable in that game, causing the Blaugrana all sorts of trouble. Hansi-Flick’s men also clinched the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal titles to end the season on a high.

Having amassed so much success last time out, the pressure is now on these ones to replicate those crazy escapades again. No thanks to their involvement in the latter stages of the CL, Bayern had a short window to prepare for the new season.

Jampacked with so many fixtures recently, fatigue is beginning to take its toll on this mighty team. Against all odds, Bayern Munich have begun their Bundesliga campaign brilliantly, amassing nine points from their opening four games.

The Bavarians’ only defeat so far was a humbling 4-0 loss at the hands of Hoffenheim on matchday two. That said, they have already lifted their first title of the season, seeing off Dortmund 3-2 in the DFL-Supercup final last month.

Atletico Madrid’s start to the La Liga season has been decent, remaining unbeaten in their first four games. Given the inconsistencies of every Spanish team this term, a win for Simeone’s men in their next match could see them go top.

Last time out against Celta Vigo, Los Colchoneros had their scoring boots on, harrowing two unanswered goals past Villar in goal. Suarez’s early goal put Atleti on the path to victory before Carrasco’s last-gasp effort clinched maximum points for Simeone’s men.

Bayern Munich vs Atletico Madrid Predictions

It goes without saying Bayern Munich are huge favorites to come away with all three points here. With the caliber of players in their ranks, no side will relish a trip to the Allianz Arena this season. That said, Atletico Madrid have a very organized defensive set-up.

Los Rojiblancos have conceded only one goal this season, and are likely to frustrate Bayern’s attacking efforts here. We cannot back the hosts for an outright win, but will entertain the goal market where we expect to see no more than two goals at fulltime.
